Dear Students,

I am saddened to share news of the death of Lars Gilmour, geology faculty in our Science Division. Lars passed away peacefully in his sleep at the age of 59.

We mourn the loss of a dear member of our community, a mentor, and a colleague. Lars also taught geology courses at South Seattle College and the University of Washington.

Any students needing emotional support are encouraged to reach out to our Counseling Center (206-546-4594), and employees may access support services through EAP (877- 313-4455).

Please hold Lars’s family members in your thoughts at this difficult time.

With care,
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Shoreline Community College is proud to participate in National Disability Employment Awareness Month, an annual awareness campaign that takes place each October. The purpose of National Disability Employment Awareness Month is to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the many and varied contributions of America’s workers with disabilities. This year’s theme is “InclusionWorks.”

The history of National Disability Employment Awareness Month traces back to 1945, when Congress enacted a law declaring the first week in October each year “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” In 1962, the word “physically” was removed to acknowledge the employment needs and contributions of individuals with all types of disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed the name to National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

“By fostering a culture that embraces individual differences, including disabilities, businesses profit by having a wider variety of tools to confront challenges,” said Jennifer Sheehy, deputy assistant secretary of labor for disability employment policy. “Our nation’s most successful companies proudly make inclusion a core value. They know that inclusion works. It works for workers, it works for employers, it works for opportunity, and it works for innovation.”

Employers and employees in all industries can learn more about how to participate in National Disability Employment Awareness Month and ways they can promote its messages — during October and throughout the year — by visiting www.dol.gov/ndeam.

Urinetown: The Musical concludes its run this Sun., Oct. 16. Get your tickets today!
urinetownPresented by Shoreline Community College and the Musical and Opera Program, this production is made possibly by the generous support of the Student Leadership Center.

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critic’s Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective of one of America’s greatest art forms.

In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.

October 14, 15, & 16

The goal of the project is to help us clearly define the College’s unique advantages.

Now we need your feedback on whether the messages developed truly do describe the College. Input from every student is important to us. If you’re already completed the survey, thank you!  If not, please complete the survey in the link below by October 17, 2016:

The survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete and you will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 Amazon gift card! To register for the drawing, simply complete the contact information at the end of the survey. Providing your contact information does not impact the confidentiality of survey responses.

CLARUS Corporation is coordinating this survey on behalf of the College, and your individual responses to the survey are confidential.

FREE PERFORMANCE AND Q&A FOR SHORELINE COMMUNITY!

Ripping apart the memories of her five children’s so-called “childhood dystopia”, she sings, dances, and kills her way through 40 years of faulty memories made to make her look like a bad mother. Three generations, six women, one Dragon Lady. Check out the event’s Facebook page here.
